There's no doubt about it, we at The Tech Zone like to have a look at cool hardware. Samsung decided to delight us with just such a device, the SyncMaster 171MP LCD. If description serves as truth, this monitor goes beyond cool. It's more like the über-monitor for power users. Want to surf the web and watch some TV? No prob, this monitor has a TV tuner, and Picture-in-Picture (PIP). Ever wondered what those high powered XBox and PS2 console games look like on an LCD? You can find out, with the included component and S-Video plugs. Need and HDTV capable monitor? Here you go, full support for 1080i, 720p, and 480p. The Swiss Army would be proud (ok have I come up with enough bad clichés yet?).
